Health-Tech Start-Up Plume Brings Gender-Affirming Care Into Homes
Providing gender-affirming care via telemedicine, a Colorado-based health-tech start-up founded by a transgender doctor has raised millions of dollars in investor funding.
Denver's Plume has raised $24 million in series B, or second round, funding to expand its virtual platform to transgender patients across the country.For $99, Plume allows users to use its platform.
The company, in a press release, said the new funding would enable it to expand to all 50 states by early next year by connecting members with physicians who can prescribe gender-affirming hormone replacement therapy.The services offered by the program are gender-affirming health care, including consultations, lab testing, support groups, letters of support for surgeries and name and gender marker changes, and medication and prescription delivery.
According to Plume, gender-affirming care is now accessible to everyone without the need to visit a physician’s office, eliminating these barriers.
